After the Roman Empire devolved into the Dark Ages, barbarians sacked and burned the cities of the civilized world.後羅馬帝國的下放進入黑暗的中世紀，野蠻人被解職，並焚燒城市的文明世界。 As the libraries, the temples and the churches burned, the collective history and the great scientific and mathematical advances of past civilizations went up in smoke.作為圖書館，寺廟和教會燒死，集體的歷史和偉大的科學和數學的進步，過去文明的上升，而在黑煙。

Meanwhile, a Roman living in Britain named Patricius was captured and taken to Ireland.與此同時，羅馬居住在英國名為patricius被抓，並被帶到愛爾蘭。 He escaped from slavery to become a priest.他逃脫從奴隸制到成為一名牧師。 He returned to Ireland, bringing with him the word of God and the knowledge of the ancients.他回到愛爾蘭，帶著神的話語和知識的古人。 Thus, Ireland became the sanctuary for the thoughts and dreams of Western civilization.因此，愛爾蘭成為庇護所的想法和夢想的西方文明。

Patricius founded a network of seminaries and libraries in Ireland that protected, preserved and advanced the knowledge that had been lost everywhere else. patricius創辦了一家網絡神學院和圖書館在愛爾蘭，保護，保存和先進的知識已經失去了世界各地。 Patricius died long before Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. patricius去世之前很久歐洲出現了從黑暗的中世紀。 His legacy, however, lived on in the Irish intellectuals who became known after the Dark Ages ended.他的遺產，然而，居住在愛爾蘭的知識分子，誰成為已知後，黑暗的中世紀結束。

These learned Irish–girded with the knowledge of the ancient world, bearing illuminated manuscripts written by hand, and with the intellectual fervor of scholars–went forth to spread the word of God and to plant the seeds of scholarship that later founded great universities in Paris, Oxford, Rome and Bologna.這些據悉，愛爾蘭- girded與知識的古代世界，同時發亮的手稿寫的，另一方面，與知識界熱情的學者-到了傳播天主的聖言和植物的種子獎學金，後來成立了偉大的大學在巴黎，牛津大學，羅馬和博洛尼亞。

Did you guess that Patricius was later to be known as Saint Patrick?你猜patricius後來被稱為聖帕特里克？ Not all Irish are drunken louts in green hats wearing Kiss Me * I’m Irish buttons.並非所有的愛爾蘭是醉酒louts在綠色的帽子，身穿吻我*我愛爾蘭按鈕。
